Crescita verde: un'analisi delle regioni italiane

2012

La ripresa economica e l’interesse verso le problematiche ambientali sono oggetto di studio da parte di molti paesi e organismi internazionali con l’obiettivo di definire un sentiero di sviluppo incentrato su una“crescita verde” (green growth). L’economia verde (green economy) si può definire come un sistema che mira ad uno sviluppo che utilizza le risorse in maniera efficiente e sostenibile, in modo da garantire che la crescita eil benessere non impoveriscano il patrimonio naturale e questo possa rinnovarsi continuando a fornire nel tempo risorse e servizi ambientali. Nella definizione degli obiettivi di una crescita verde si evidenziano le carenze del PIL come unico indicatore di riferime…

Crescita verde e sviluppo sostenibile. Approcci multidimensionali per la valutazione delle regioni italiane

2014

L’obiettivo principale di questa tesi di dottorato è quello di valutare la crescita verde e lo sviluppo sostenibile delle regioni italiane utilizzando un approccio multidimensionale finalizzato alla costruzione di indicatori compositi. L’analisi in componenti principali è utilizzata per sintetizzare le variabili che rappresentano dimensioni della crescita verde e della sostenibilità dello sviluppo. Particolare attenzione è dedicata ai metodi per derivare pesi di ponderazione endogeni, cioè basati sulla struttura dei dati. A differenza dell’analisi sulla crescita verde, dal confronto territoriale sullo sviluppo sostenibile sembra emergere il divario Nord-Sud, che caratterizza in particolare …

Daily rhythms of young children in the 24/7 economy : A comparison of children in day care and day and night care

2017

The study explored temporal variation in children’s moods and compared children in regular day care with those in day and night care in Finland. To examine variation in children’s experiences, a mobile diary was used. The participants comprised 32 young children and their parents and day care personnel. Adults evaluated children’s moods three times daily over 1 week. A clear weekday–weekend rhythm was found among children in day care, who displayed more negative moods, due to frequent hurried mornings. Children in day and night care had more irregular mood rhythms. Boys were evaluated as displaying more negative moods than girls. peerReviewed

Col : A Data Collection Protocol for Vanet

2012

International audience; In this paper, we present a protocol to collect data within a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET). In spite of the intrinsic dynamic of such network, our protocol simultaneously offers three relevant properties: (1) It allows any vehicle to collect data beyond its direct neighborhood (i.e., vehicles within direct communication range) using vehicle-to-vehicle communications only (i.e., the infrastructure is not required); (2) It tolerates possible network partitions; (3) It works on demand and stops when the data collection is achieved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first collect protocol having these three characteristics. All that is chiefly obtained thanks…

UAV-Assisted Data Collection in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Comprehensive Survey

2021

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are usually deployed to different areas of interest to sense phenomena, process sensed data, and take actions accordingly. The networks are integrated with many advanced technologies to be able to fulfill their tasks that is becoming more and more complicated. These networks tend to connect to multimedia networks and to process huge data over long distances. Due to the limited resources of static sensor nodes, WSNs need to cooperate with mobile robots such as unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in their developments. The mobile devices show their maneuverability, computational and energy-storage abilities to support WSNs in mul…

A Mobile Diary Method for Studying Children’s and Adolescents’ Emotions : A Pilot Study

2015

Researching children’s and adolescents’ emotions from their own perspectives possesses special requirements for the data collection tools used. In this study, children’s and early adolescents’ emotions were investigated using a mobile diary method. The article describes and evaluates this data collection method and presents empirical results on fluctuation in the emotions of children and adolescents (n = 60, aged 7–14 years). The data, in the form of short text messages, were collected over one week. Every evening, children received seven questions on their emotions. Multilevel modeling was used to analyze the data. The results illustrate the potential of the mobile diary method with childr…

The Key Concepts of Ethics of Artificial Intelligence

2018

The growing influence and decision-making capacities of Autonomous systems and Artificial Intelligence in our lives force us to consider the values embedded in these systems. But how ethics should be implemented into these systems? In this study, the solution is seen on philosophical conceptualization as a framework to form practical implementation model for ethics of AI. To take the first steps on conceptualization main concepts used on the field needs to be identified. A keyword based Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) on the keywords used in AI and ethics was conducted to help in identifying, defying and comparing main concepts used in current AI ethics discourse. Out of 1062 papers retrieve…

Surprise as a Design Strategy in Goal-oriented Mobile Applications

2022

Emotions are important in product experiences. Besides utilitarian aspects in interacting with technological products, recent research has focused on hedonic and affective aspects of product interaction. Designing unexpected product features evoking surprise has proven to be advantageous for product user interaction and user experience. Especially, in classical product design surprising the user is an efficient design strategy to create pleasurable products. However, current research has not extensively focused on the effects of surprise in technological interactive products. It is important to understand users´ experiences in relation to unexpected events in digital products in order to de…

You have a Message from Illi! : The Mobile Diary in Researching Children’s Daily Experiences

2017

Thus far, daily diary studies have mostly focused on adults and adolescents, while only a few have researched young children. In this methodological article, we introduce and evaluate a mobile diary application, “You have a message from Illi”, designed to capture young, under-school-age children’s daily experiences at home and in day care, in the context of a 24 h economy where parents work nonstandard hours and child care is arranged accordingly. We also compare childrens’ mood ratings reported by both the children themselves and adults. Children recruited either from day care centers (N = 15) or day and night and care centers (N = 17) carried smartphones with them for 1 week and reported …
